Lots to Catch Up on

Well, it’s been a while since this blog has been updated but we have been SUPER busy in kindergarten getting TONS of BRAN WRINKLES!

Apples were our theme unit a few weeks ago.

We estimated how many seeds would be in the center  of the apple, then sliced it open and counted them.

We have READERS~ the students are learning sight words and are now reading.

During our apple unit each student brought in an apple and then we graped each color of apple.

In math we have mastered patterns and sorting!

Here a few of the students favorite books!

We compared and contrasted a pig and a sheep.

and during the afternoon quiet time we have done a few art projects.

Grandparent’s Day Celebration

We had a great turnout for our Grandparent’s Day celebration today!  The students sang them two songs and then we had cake and punch!

Enjoy the pictures of the students and their grandparents!

August 28-September 9

This is a school year with lots of changes in the VWSD.  With so many changes, it’s difficult many days to remember to take photos of your darling children to put on the blog.  This is two weeks together- for the simple fact that not too many pictures were taken during this two week period.

R show and tell

rabbits, ribbons, rockets, racecars, remotes, and Reece’sCooler temperatures have allowed us to have some instructional time outside.  The students work really hard when we are outside- and always stay fully engaged.

Here we are practicing writing numbers.

The infamous teddy bear picnic baskets.  This is also the first day that the students use scissors. With lots of direct and explicit instruction, the picnic bags turned out precious!

Kindergarten is the perfect place to develop language skills.  Public speaking and talking to a group are important to practice.  The students stood up and introduced their teddy bear to the class and we called it the Teddy bear meet and greet.

The picnic bags were all ready to go!

So were the children and their bears.

Great fun was had by all!
